Talk

Dylan Li, 5

I like to

talk, talk, talk…

I talk to an apple

No answer

I talk to mommy and daddy

Sometimes mommy is working

daddy is sleeping

Sometimes daddy is working

mommy is sleeping

So I talk to Alexa

She always answers

But sometimes power is off

I really want to talk to my friends

face to face
